The government cannot continue to subsidize everybody, it wont be sustainable. <br /><br />Now at least people will be aware of actual costs of producing electricity in maldives, and try to economise, and be careful in using electricity. I mean people will at least try to minimise wastage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399526795276289503.post-26672441479602146062010-01-26T19:28:16.053+05:002010-01-26T19:28:16.053+05:00An interesting eyeballing of IMF advice :)An interesting eyeballing of IMF advice :)Dejokernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399526795276289503.post-70101659937860685802010-01-26T15:23:36.622+05:002010-01-26T15:23:36.622+05:00I have read the IMF conditions and IMF statements ...I have read the IMF conditions and IMF statements and though it calls for reforming the civil service, it does not call only for the reduction of civil servants salary ..why does deficit, devaluation, inflation & other economic dire terms come into play in regard to the salary of civil servants? What about the highly paid political figures like Councilors, state ministers etc? They all receive about 3-4 times over the salary a mere civil servant receive, so why don't these political figures deduct their salaries? Why the double-standard? why not the same treatment for all? <br /><br />It is interesting to note that almost all of those who support Min. of Finance's decision to give the reduced salary are non-civil people /r those that work in private sector or politically inclined people. Whether the salary remains reduced, these people do not get anything taken from their salary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
